My video card will not play videos PLEASE HELP!

[Comptech]

I have a XFX GEforce 5200 and a XFX Geforce 6600GT

my 6600GT when I try to play videos the computer freezes up

I switch out the video card to my old 5200 then the video works perfectly fine.

The Geforce 6600GT, does play games fine but it cant play videos.

I installed the new drivers already but still no good


PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! HELP WOULD BE HIGHLY APPREICATED THANK YOU!

what media player do you use?
you can also try downloading some new codecs. I have the Ace Mega codec pack (big download, I think about 120MB) which has just about every codec under the sun
there's also the Nimo codec packs, which are a lot smaller but have most codecs you'll need.

I dont think its the codec problem, my old video card plays everything fine but not my new one.

I guess it doesnt hurt to try, where can I go to found the ACE or NIMO codecs?

I'm assuming google.

If you're on a codec quest just try out " Video lan player". It will eat up and spit out the video for anything worth playing

use drivercleaner to remove nvidia display drivers, Install the card then install the drivers.. i think it's possibly old referances causing issues.
